Aside from being short and a little too expensive, this game is awesome. Extraction is a faithful prequel to Dead Space. There were some surprises; things that I didn't expect to see in a rail shooter like puzzles, shaking the Wiimote to turn on the light in dark places and having to solidify barricades.

Add to that all the great aspects from the first Dead Space like zero-gravity, telekinesis (pick up objects and throw them), stasis (slow down objects or enemies) and weapons with two firing mode.
